TALIA's POV
I woke up late the next morning finding myself on the floor in the living room curled up next to JJ. John B slept on the couch, and I assume my dad went to bed.
I got up and went to my room to start getting ready for midsummers party.
Throughout the morning and afternoon while I was getting ready, the boys would come bother me and complain about how bored they were. None the less, I ignored them and finally finished getting ready.
I walked downstairs to see JJ, John B, and my dad all waiting for me. I walked down the stairs in heels, which is something I rarely do.
"You boys ready?" I asked messing up JJs already messy hair.
"Ready as I'll ever be." John B responded. We all piled into my dad's car and took off. _________________
Midsummers is an event that happens every summer. It's basically just a huge fancy cookout where people dress up and do rich people shit. It's in a beautiful country club that's filled with snobby rich people. I was not one of those people, however; I still found myself there. When we walked in, we saw hundreds of people enjoying themselves.
"It's like every Pogues nightmare " I heard JJ mutter and he fixed his hair. We were both not used to the type of thing.
I had my arm linked around his, and my other held onto his arm. I squeezed it when we walked in. I was so nervous because I hadn't seen half these people since my year at the Kook academy. We received many glares, and a few kind smiles.
"Hi Mr. Marquis, It's so nice to see you," I said trying to sound normal. Or at least act how everyone else was.
We had only taken a few steps into the building when people started offering to get us beverages.
"Yeah I'll have a beer," JJ spoke, I slapped his arm. "JJ- We'll have two Shirley temples please," I said politely forcing the best smile I could manage.
"JJ you're 16, you can't drink in front of adults." "What the HELL is a Shirley Temple?" He asked genuinely confused. "Oh my- Nevermind, You'll like it, trust me." I rolled my eyes at him.
We walked through the rest of the building to the back deck/ outside, where the party was mainly held. We just stopped and started talking when Kie and JB came up to us.
"Kie you look gorgeous." I smile at her, looking her up and down. "I look like a bourgeoisie pig," She sighed, "But thanks." I just smiled at her.
We all just stood around talking when Pope came up to us. "Look at Pope working hard to get the big bucks." JJ laughed at him, admiring his stylish uniform.
"You think I'm getting paid for this shit?" Pop laughed, giving Kie the Pogue handshake.
We all made more small talk until we eventually went our separate ways. They started to play a slow song. I stood there drinking my Shirley Temple when I turned around and saw JJ standing there holding his hand out ready to take me to the dance floor.
